Penn State tight end Brenton Strange was rightfully called for unsportsmanlike conduct against Ohio State after smacking Buckeyes EDGE J.T. Tuimoloau across the head in the first half.

The incident happened after the play was out of reach of the two players, but one would think Strange must have been provoked to do so. Though, this is a rivalry matchup and sometimes petty hits like this happen just because.

Later in the drive, Nittany Lions quarterback Sean Clifford found wideout Parker Washington on a screen pass. Washington incredibly spun out of two tackles simultaneously, got a block and raced his way into the end zone.

Can Penn State pull off one of the biggest upsets of the season? Or will Ohio State’s offense start pouring it on the Nittany Lions. Check the game out now live on FOX as the first half rages on.

Near the end of the first quarter, Williams took the football near the sidelines, when he was tackled awkwardly and landed hard on his right arm. After staying down for quite a bit, he walked with trainers back to the Buckeyes sideline, later caught by FOX cameras walking into the locker room.

Now, Buckeyes faithful will await whether the perceived upper-body injury will keep Williams out for the remainder of the game, or if the star running back will return to the showdown. 

On the season going into the game against the Nittany Lions, Williams has rushed for 516 yards and nine touchdowns on 74 attempts, while also catching four passes for 26 yards. Prior to the injury, Williams already accumulated nine rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on two carries.
